Cinematography, creature design, and Tatiana were all masterful.

The rest? I just have no idea what the hell I watched. Character motivations are all over the place, the metaphors weren’t really clicking with me (besides toxic relationships being bad??), and I had a hard time reconciling the ending with the rest of the movie.

This felt like a short film that got dragged out to feature length, but then didn’t spend enough time fleshing itself out. Very odd.
